Amanda has discovered some hidden gems during her first year of home ownership.
This was an excellent airplane book. I found it on Kindle Unlimited in the airport, and read it on a two hour flight. It held my attention, but was light enough that I could read quickly and not feel like I was taxing my tired brain. There is a lot of dialogue and in just about any other circumstance that would make me very happy. I love dialogue. But the characters do a lot of … Continue reading Death in Soho by Emily Organ
It’s a holiday week here in the US, but I’m avoiding the heat, illegal fireworks and public intoxication and staying in the AC with Lady Pudding. For her part, Pudding doesn’t celebrate the Fourth of July as she’s an avowed monarchist… …although she believes she should be the queen. She’s not wrong though. We immediately establish that Brayden has not met an accessory that he doesn’t like. “I feel like you won the First Impression … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S20 E2: Spring Break
Apologies for the delay – I’ve been traveling!
Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m getting over the flu, so that should give plenty of indication how my weekend went. I also got to see a little bit of my partner’s hometown and grabbed some delicious bagels from a local shop (toasted sesame with bacon scallion cream cheese).

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire is $3.99! I love this series. The writing is so beautiful and I would happily send 300+ pages in the world McGuire has created. However, I will warn that these books have a haunting sadness to them or can be downright horrific.
This book messed me up. Yes, I read it while I was going through a rough time, but the point stands: this is an emotionally intense book. The problem is that it is so well-written that it’s also un-put-downable so the emotional intensity is unrelenting. Carla is filled with wanderlust. She works in a bar to save up money and then travels the world in the Jeep her father gave her when he was diagnosed … Continue reading Off the Map by Trish Doller
Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert is $1.99! It’s the third book in The Brown Sisters series, which we’ve all enjoyed at the site. Do you have a favorite of the three? Mine might be Take a Hint, Dani Brown.
Reel by Kennedy Ryan is $2.49! This was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet. I love this cover and the color palette they chose! This is a romance set in Hollywood, if that happens to be your catnip.
Welcome back to Cover Awe! Cover design by Diahann Sturge Carrie: Love the pink against the gray and how the two shades of pink and styles of dress tell us so much about the characters!
